I’ve had a number of fans reach out and ask me exactly how I wrote my book. I know several of you are working on writing projects of your own so I wanted to shed some light on my writing process.

1. Make a Timeline For Yourself. I usually work backwards. For my most recent book, my deadline was September 1st. I started writing in May. I gave myself a two week cushion and decided I was going to be done writing by August 16th.

Here are the top five things that YOU need to know about grad school! At first it’s overwhelming, but former Campus Ambassador Laura Monroe breaks it down for you. She is a recent grad of the University of Alabama and is now attending their grad school program.

1. Research multiple schools to find the graduate program that best suits your learning style and interests.

2. Start the application process early.

3. Outline your goals as a graduate student and access these goals often.

4. Prepare yourself for a heavier workload by creating a detailed study schedule.

At Florida State University, I wasn’t able to get internship credit until I was a junior/senior. I got my first internship the spring semester of my freshman year of college and was told I couldn’t get credit for it. I was able to get “transcript recognition” for the opportunity - my career center helped me with that. After that, I was told at FSU and UCF that I couldn’t get anymore internship credit. I did my other 14 internships for the experience. Those internships were the most valuable opportunities of my life. I would do them again in a heartbeat.

Stage 1: Excitement, Eagerness and Enthusiasm
Three months ago, I walked out of Kenan Stadium at UNC Chapel Hill where I was one of 35,000 graduates and their families to hear Steve Case, co-founder of AOL, encourage us to go out into the world and seek opportunity. So, in typical Gen Y fashion, I left commencement inspired and ready to get out there, eager to make a difference.

Last night I finally had the opportunity to read the September issue of Instyle! I’d been waiting for so long (I was working on meeting my book deadline). I really enjoy Diane Von Fursternberg’s (DVF) column on fashion every month. I was immediately drawn to the question from a reader about what to wear to her new job (real estate job). She wanted to look professional but age appropriate. Diane’s must-haves to create that workplace look are:

I’ve been speaking with my Intern Queen Ambassador Alumni - who are now employed at some of the nation’s leading companies all over the US. I’ve been asking them about their experiences in the real world. I wanted to share some thoughts from a former intern and Intern Queen Ambassador (from Towson), Alicia Valko, who now works at Jack Morton.

1. Don’t be afraid to reach out to people and set up informational interviews. Alicia says these helped her grow her professional network. They helped her get her foot in the door for opportunities down the road.
